Blame the Jews (The Plague Made Them Do It) – The Renaissance #243
Twelve Genoese galleys dock at Messina in 1347 carrying rats, fleas, and Yersinia pestis…. and within weeks Europe is looking for someone to blame. Spoiler: it’s the Jews. Also the beggars. Also, possibly, the planets. Pope Clement VI tries to point out that Jews are dying of the plague too, which you’d think would settle the matter. The post Blame the Jews (The Plague Made Them Do It) – The Renaissance #243 appeared first on The Renaissance Times.
